Of course Mario, but Mario is not a RPG series (despite having great RPGs)...
Now, Mario has more absolute sales, but Pokemon is a bigger phenomenom considering how much a single Pokemon game sells (with a simple repeated formula) and the cultural influence... And the franchise is getting near outselling Mario with less years out (Mario has around 210 million and started in 1983, Pokemon has around 190 million and started 12 years later)...
